GosiP: A GKS3D Shell for PHIGS
M.T. French · Computer Graphics Forum · 1990
Abstract Gosip is an implementation of a GKS‐3D level 2c interface to PHIGS. It allows GKS applications to run on PHIGS platforms, offering performance and portability across a wide range of high‐performance 3D workstations. Compatibility of the standards is reviewed. A selection of design solutions is given for the problems of error processing, non‐retained primitives and attribute management. The concepts of Workstation Display Session and atmbute state are introduced. Some comments are made on implementation dependencies, performance and portability.
